Cleaner Shrimp fighting!!!

makko75 · 02-08-2006, 11:41 AM

Hello to all! Heavyweight match of the cleaner shrimps is what's going on in my tank since yesterday. I've had a cleaner shrimp in my tank for about 3-4 months now. He is pretty big and his colors are awesome. Anyways, I went and bought another cleaner shrimp yesterday. He is about the same size as the one that I already have. I placed the new shrimp in the tank and everything was alright. Ten minutes later I see both shrimps fighting. They did that a couple of times and now they are not fighting as much, but if they get too close to each other ( :slap: ), they will begin to fight. Don't know what to do? I thought about getting a third one, but don't know if it will do anything to solve the problem. Any ideas!!!

The 2 shrimps have stopped fighting. I guess they called the match a draw. Now they are getting along just fine and they hang out together around the tank.
